mixing my paints without varnish, high viscosity and pigments plus a cellicious abstract painting

A ton of information in this one!
New habits grow slowly. Here's how I lean and figure new things out.
I use the Behr Dynasty deep base and Valspar ultra base C gloss

IT WAS A BAD BATCH!!! To make sure, you won't grab the same one, here is the batch number, printed on the bottom of your can. Don't get this one! The consistency is fairly thin and it's white not the usual pinkish undertone

4C130012

My testing in this video will focus on Varnish vs a thin deep base mixed with the Behr Dynasty.

📌 THE SPINNER I'm using is my own design and creation. Every single work step is done by my hands and my table saw (operated by me)
I sell these on my homepage and if you want to up your game and create on big canvases, you seriously should check it out!
DISCLAIMER: It's a tool for serious artists, I always recommend getting a small , cheaper spinner to try if spinning is your thing first. After you've tried other versions, I promise you'll appreciate this guy over all of them if you work with big heavy canvasses and you spin all the time, like me.

For medium and smaller Canvasses, check out my new tiny and mighty Bäby spinner!

It’s gorgeous thank you so much for sharing your creativity. You’re highly appreciated for all your efforts and brilliance, you have a wonderful day

[sheliaburtscher]

You are so talented. Love this one and the cells🎉

[dakotamoone]

Thank you for being so detailed in trying to show your consistency. your awesome

[tanjawiegrefe]

Dankeschön 🙏 für deine Demonstration, Jessica! Es teilt ja leider nicht jeder seine Erfahrungen mit anderen. Auch wenn es eure Produkte nicht in Deutschland gibt, hat es mich zum testen anderer Produkte angeregt. Meine Zellen und Farben sind auch manchmal "wackelig" 😫. Gibt ja reichlich Baumärkte. Das Bild ist im Übrigen wunderschön geworden 😍. Mit all den Zellen und deiner SUPER Farbkombination. Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland 🇩🇪, Tanja 😊

[SuzanVerberne_FluidArt]

Thank you Jess, apart from your brilliant work! Thanks for the tip on the GAC 100, I've now got it and tried it out, and I'm sold! I was already not fond of the varnish, and used it minimally, only to dissolve the pigments in it. But even (or especially) in my Owatrol mix (from the Netherlands, so no house paint, I mix all the layers with Owatrol, and so I already added a binder with the pigments, but a very thick one so not suitable to dissolve them in), I already notice that the cells stay nicer, less blobby, and my pigments no longer bleed when I want to make lines with them. And it's so thin, so only little needed, really nice! I am very happy with it!

[BillRobersonArt]

Great mixing information, thanks for that. This one is absolutely gorgeous, Jessica!!

[louisecampeau]

Beautiful painting. The cells are great with this PM recipe. Thanks for sharing, Glad you're back, Jessica... missed you!!!

[Sun-mvqx]

Superb Jessica, the minimalist colours made the painting very interesting to look at and they are lovely too. Good job working it all out and hope the paints behave themselves. Would u happen to know what alternative paints would be used in UK or Ireland? Maybe you have a friend over there that knows! Thx deary have a good paint 😊🙏❤️

[tiakitchens]

Jessica, this piece is a bit more Busy but is absolutely beautiful and balanced. That Abalone is just fantastic! Glad to see you back. 😊

[marysfluidartdream]

Thank you for sharing this! I've been struggling with my PM, since the change with Behr. Cells were not crisp at all. So, headed to the store today again!!!! Your work inspires me so much and you have the cutest personality. My hope one day is to attend one of your courses! Hugs to you!

[nancylockner]

Been away for a couple of years due to life happenings.
Watching and readjusting myself
Love your work and info. Thanks do much.

[SuzanVerberne_FluidArt]

Such a beautiful piece Jessica, the Abalone is so stunning when dried, it looks beautiful here, I love the dynamics! Good to have you back, I'm so happy for you!!

[jannekekloos]

I love it that you're combining the two techniques. Glad for you that you found the solution to the problem. The deep base paints in the Netherlands are rather thick as well, so I need to find something to thin it with. I'll keep on trying!
Thanks for showing us the process.
Oh....did I say I like it?
I like it! 😘

[lisadumas]

Jessica I think it turned out fabulous and thanks for the recap on the product change appreciate it. And glad to see you back in your happy place.

[tina-ecce]

i Luv the piece!!!
Ty for the info too

Ive not been able to paint for almost 9 months due to personal situation…
And OMG do i Miss it!!!!
i Know it will feel strange at 1st… but hoping it wont take long to get back in the groove 😁

[bramstayer]

Got my valspar Ultra and a small can of Behr but still no proper cheap blow dryer! But im gonna swipe my little ❤out!!! After i clean my teeny studio...😅

[SamanthaDuncan-yn]

I can see this on a huge canvas. Beautiful

[odilehelbongo]

Que c’est beau! Que c’est bon de vous retrouver😊😘💝

[marshalacroix]

Thank you Jessica! I totally lost faith in myself with the bloom recipes but decided to give it one more try after watching this video. I love you color combo. I splurged and bought the abalone, the dynasty, and i even bought the hair dryer. My test had so many beautiful cells. Ive never had cells like that. Cant wait for it to dry.

[WillieBStudios]

Jess! This was soooo helpful girl!! I haven’t bloomed in ages ( hello cloud obsessed) but I’ve been antsy to jump back in. I wasn’t sure i was gonna go back and use my old PM ( using infinity with poly and sometimes the 8300) Thanks so much for all this!
Right now i mixed up 5340 beer but I’m not elated with it… but once the small can is done … I’m definitely gonna go this way. Cheers!
